Wayne Brown sent this picture of Rayline Gatling Gun. He hopes it clears up some of the questions on the figures that came with it. As you can see they were copies of the Marx figures. It is interesting to see also the way it was packaged.
T D Barnecut send along photos of the Preiser 1/32 Scale figures. They are very detailed and are like the Airfix multipos kits.
Brian McIver has sent us a photo of the the only accessory in Awesome Kids AWI set. It is a defense position.

Ken Ciak of Lod Enterprises has posted this photo containing two figures from two different 2018 releases. The clear figure is a range of Santa elves. The other figure is a Revolutionary soldier. The Revolutinary figure looks like he stabbing at waist. The figure is wearing a pack. This figure should be part of the playset the Ken and Ron Barzso are doing for 2018.

It is always interesting what turns up in a junk box. You can always find the usual China copies and common figures. Then something odd pops like the above horse. The horse is an Athena Greek warrior horse. I put it up on Ebay and it sold to a collector in Greece.
Two interesting animals that turn up recently. On the left is a bison. It is hard plastic and possible from a model kit. The horse looks like it is reissue of earlier version of it. do you recognize it.
The horse looks like one Replicants sells. It would have England on the underside.
There is a third set of Prussian infantry, a set that includes a color-bearer and NCO.
I thought it was replicants, but did not want to say anything until it was confirmed.
Is the bisont holow under or inside?
I like the bison, nicely detailed. Is it 1/32 scale? Does anyone know the manufacturer of the bison?
The horse looks like the standing Marx Indian Pony, with a saddle and a peg added on.
Preiser multipose kit sets could be bough from various dealers around world.
Here are some samples.

Now about above Prussian Frederick Great Grenadiers infantry sets posted as far i know i have them but are 1.35 scale(50/52 mm max) not 1.32.They were also released in the typical 1.25 scale unpainted format kit individual pose or fully painted in box window also in various solid cast mold poses (the 1/25 kit are actually two parts figures split in mold hollow single pose and still plenty around )
If done in 1.32 i had never seen them before nor in my catalog kit list i have .

The Preiser figures pictured are listed as 1/32 scale on the Preiser website. Their 1/35 scale figures are listed separately. I don’t have any of these figures but would like to get them. They’re on my Christmas list!
The Awesome Kids defensive log structure looks pretty nice, can you give dimensions or put a ruler in the picture or maybe a figure to show size / scale?
Top of my head is 2″ high by 10″ long max approx ,it very suitable x 1.32 scale.It was copied-exact recast in unpainted format and sold with a set of BMC copies sold in bags as well.
best..
I could use several of those log barricades. Erwin, is the BMC copy bag you mentioned with the unpainted version of the barricade still on sale anyplace?
Mark .I don’t know now.
I got two in bags about 3 years ago at a drugstore in are village with the cloned BMC ACW figures but had not seen since only in mix lot loose at ebay ..
sorry…
I think are same just listed as 1.32 .I have the 1.35 still with box ,i put few up together once but next to Accurate are a bit smaller .The WW2 figures made are same range scale .They did a post WW2 occupation line and civilian with 1/32 figures much after.
You can get then from Ebay sellers also as well some US sellers dealers.If they did same sets in 1.32 is new to me .
very interesting…

Rahway is right about the horse it was made by Replicants in the original hollowcast mould from Timpo/Sacul (not sure which, they are identical, but probably Sacul), the horse went with the figure of HM Queen Elizabeth riding sidesaddle.
Horse looks like Replicant mount that comes with great coat figure with swappable heads.
Yes
The horse reminded me of a CTS pose except for the peg. When Bill mentioned the resemblance to the Marx pony I said, “Yeah, I see that…” But I have a black Replicants horse just like that that I haven’t hauled out in a couple years that looks just like that…
I guess I need to either get my guys out more often or downsize…
Speaking of which… looking at the LOD ARW master – WOW! Something to look forward to…
Did someone mention downsizing?
Talking about independence war sets future release.
Did anybody has the rest of poses that ATS did when produce it sets .The other 4 poses and horse done by them i never got chance buy it at all.Same in FFL.
So far they keep selling the 4 poses (two militia and two grenadiers!?).
But also there was a officer w pistol,a mounted dragon ,running continental and standing firing continental different pose .I have a big advertise photo of them from early 90s.
Did anybody here got them!!??
